The CoderDojo Foundation

CoderDojo believes that an understanding of programming languages is increasingly important in the modern world, that it’s both better and easier to learn these skills early, and that nobody should be denied the opportunity to do so! Any young person aged 7 – 17 can join and attend a Dojo for FREE! At a Dojo they will learn skills such as building a website, creating an app or a game, and explore technology in an informal, creative, and social environment.

3. www.coderdojo.com CoderDojo Foundation 3 We want to… …develop a global funding partnership with the CoderDojo Foundation. Coding is probably one of the most important skills that you can acquire today, and is a critical skill for the 4th Industrial revolution. Its one of the reasons why we brought children from Davos to the world economic forums to show them coding at a Dojo, and why we at Salesforce work with organisations like CoderDojo Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com CoderDojo is unique: it enables and empowers young people to truly develop their skills as creators, innovators and changemakers of technology. Through the movement, thousands of young people are learning the skills they need to succeed in today's increasingly connected world. CoderDojo is on a remarkable journey. In just over five years the movement has grown from 1 to over 1,200 active clubs worldwide in 66 countries. To accelerate our impact, we are seeking partners to join us as we head towards our next milestones of 5,000 Dojos spread across 75 countries.

8. www.coderdojo.com CoderDojo Foundation 8 We want to… ...develop a global growth partnership with the CoderDojo Foundation by establishing multiple Dojos worldwide (5+ Dojos*) “Accenture has developed a fantastic relationship with CoderDojo over the past few years, aligning with our Corporate Citizenship aim to equip young people with digital skills.” Julie Spillane, Director, Accenture. A growth partner uses existing infrastructure/resources to scale CoderDojo by opening Dojos across 5+ global locations. Typical growth partners include corporates who encourage employees within regional offices worldwide to start Dojos either informally or through a structured CSR programme. Alternatively, they are existing not for profits with similar missions to CoderDojo who adopt the program as an initiative in their region. To accelerate our impact, we are seeking partners to join us as we head towards our next milestones of 5,000 Dojos spread across 75 countries.
9. www.coderdojo.com CoderDojo Foundation 9 “CoderDojo blew me away in how quickly children selected a coding technology, sat down at (in some cases) borrowed laptops, and in a short window of time created websites, games and graphics.” Katherine Manuel, SVP of Enterprise Innovation, Thomson Reuters. 1 Accenture | (10 Dojos + Multiple Events) Equipping and empowering their employees and global offices to ensure that they have the necessary tools, supports and knowledge to start Dojos in Accenture offices globally. 2 Thomson Reuters | (9 Dojos + Multiples Events) Equipping and empowering their employees to create multiple Thomson Reuters based Dojos and specific CoderDojo related initiatives such as CoderDojo Girls events and CoderDojo accessibility tour. 3 Fogarty Foundation (Non-Profit) | (100 Dojos) Currently the structure of CoderDojo WA is funded and supported solely by the Fogarty Foundation who act as the regional body for CoderDojo in Western Australia.

15. www.coderdojo.com CoderDojo Foundation 15 We want to… …donate hardware, or software to the CoderDojo Foundation “Movements like CoderDojo have been so important in bringing the support and educational content to kids as well”. Philip Colligan, CEO, Raspberry Pi Foundation. We are always striving to provide awesome tools and resources to the community and to further our goal of scaling and sustaining on an organisational level at the CoderDojo Foundation.
16. www.coderdojo.com CoderDojo Foundation 16 1 Intercom | (Organisational Licences) Intercom has fundamentally changed how we interact with the CoderDojo community as it allows us to provide real time support to parents, Mentors and Champions who are signed into the CoderDojo community platform. 2 Kano | ( Donated 200+ Units of Kano Computer Kits for Kids.) Kano kits were donated to the CoderDojo Foundation to distribute to Dojos. They could be regularly used with their accompanying educational materials to give many youth attendees the opportunity to learn more about Raspberry Pi and computing. Young people at the Dojos had the opportunity to develop their understanding of computer hardware. 3 VMware Foundation | (Donated 960 of Raspberry Pi’s) The VMware Foundation donated a total of 960 Raspberry Pis to the CoderDojo Foundation. The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into a computer monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It is a capable little device that enables people of all ages to explore how computers work and to learn how to program in languages like Scratch and Python which is taught in Dojos globally. Some examples of our Hardware & Software Partners:
